SIGILLUM Q E TURN AND LOOK for a moment down the backward path, sunlit with memory. To those Whom we find there, We bow-respectfully, perhaps a bit humbly. To William McLeod, whose keen spirit and knowledge freshened the lives of school gen- erations, to Marie Arnold, Whose German courses culminated in the annual festival of the chocolate pigs, to Catherine Crocker and and Katharine DeMeritt, Whose kindly in- struction raised the French department to a point of high efiiciencyg to Mabel Slade Vickery and Julie Adams, Whose zeal in historic research led sometimes to Sunday sessions, to Ellery Bates, whose flashing Wit and artistry were long a school tradition, to Ida Taylor, Esther Kennedy, Louise McKelvey and Alice Murray, who gave the light of their personalities to the flickering lamp of learning, to these and to all those others who aided in the rearing of this, our school, to its standard of sound scholarship, We offer homage of respect, and gratitude.

Handi- capped by size, weight, and numbers, Brad manages to turn in an unusually creditable show- ing for a school of our number. His experience and thorough knowledge of sports make him a competent athletic director and a fine coach. His whole-hearted interest in boys and his knowl- edge of their needs make it a pleasure to play on his teams.
